In the interest of preventing spam-posting, I'll comment on the recent works in a single post!
After lurking for an eternity got myself to create an account.
Got bored tonight and decided to draw "hard-boiled" Lalli doing magic stuff as I needed practice anyway. Perspective seems a bit skewed I guess, I should probably choose easier poses to work with.
I really dig the color palette and dynamic-ness of this piece! Foreshortening/perspective is indeed a challenging thing to tackle, and I admire the fact that you chose this pose over easier ones.
I like to think that Emil has always found fire to be comforting, but maybe when he tries to find comfort in the flames today he'll have a bit more to think about. This turned out a tad sadder than I'm used to drawing so I may just have to do something doubly adorable for next week to make up for it (assuming that my stupid workload doesn't kill me first) 
Scanning it into the computer also meant that some of the details on the screaming faces in the fire and the trolls in the smoke were lost (boo hiss!), but someday I'll learn to handle technology properly!
Hehe, on a side note apparently my bag isn't completely waterproof (see splotches on the top 
), aaaaand I'm probably going to be spending the next week acting like a weirdo and drawing people's shoes and legs because my inability to draw feet is starting to really bug me.
Ohhhh, I wished that the scanner didn't bleach out the colors so much! D: I kind of see an inkling of the screaming faces you've mentioned, and they do add an edge to the piece! Despite the high contrast and brightness of the piece, it does have a melancholic mood.
